	Jon Speelman's Best Games
		Jon Speelman is one of the strongest players to emerge from the English Chess Explosion (arguably, only Short and now Adams have been more successful against the top competition).
		Jon Speelman's Best Games is divided into thematic sections with titles such as "Skirting the Precipice" (for games with surprise moves in shaky situations), and "Blood on the Board" (for what he calls "serious hackery"!).
		Whereas Speelman in his prime has been a less tactical player than, say, Anand, this particular selection of games is a compendium of exciting, double-edged struggles that are more reflective of the madman's style he burst upon the scene with.

	Redbus Chess Knockout Tournament 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Top seed Michael Adams was a comfortable victor over Daniel King but Jon Speelman had to quite literally fight to the death against Chris Ward to stay in the race for the 2000 pound first prize.
		Speelman won the first game with white comfortably enough after Ward made a tactical oversight which lost a pawn but the former British champion fought back to win the return with white and record his first ever win over Speelman.
		Speelman was soon in trouble in one of his favourite lines of the Modern Defence and Ward got the advantage all over the board which he converted with forceful play.

		David spotted his opportunity immediately, won two pawns and gave Speelman absolutely no chance to wriggle out in the remainder of the game.

		"Speelman gave an impressive display of how a Grandmaster can outplay an inexperienced youngster as he controlled the position throughout his forty one victory over the twelve year old prodigy, David Howell."
		"Speelman gradually built up a space advantage on the queenside while Howell was unable to find a plan and wasted lots of time trying to untangle his knight pair."
		A nice game by Speelman with some entertaining tactics.

	Book Reviews by IM John L Watson
		Whereas Speelman in his prime has been a less tactical player than, say, Anand, this particular selection of games is a compendium of exciting, double-edged struggles which are more reflective of the madman's style he burst upon the scene with.
		Shirov's book is not as demanding as Speelman's, but is still rather dense.
		Although anyone can have fun with the games themselves, it's quite possible that readers under 1800 may feel disoriented by the lack of elementary instructive support from the author.
